Alice's soldier sweetheart Terry Lomax is home for a brief period of leave, and they are excitedly planning a whirlwind wedding. But the honeymoon is soon over. Terry must return to the army, and the ever-present air raid sirens quickly bring Alice back down to earth. When a terrible explosion at the factory leads to a tragic death, Millie receives devastating news, and a loved one is announced missing in action, the heartbreak of war is suddenly all too real. Alice must believe Terry will make it home. Her mother and Millie need all her support, and morale at the factory is at an all-time low.
